Keg at Draft City Taproom, 8/11/24. Hazy orange, thin white head, average retention. Aroma of grapefruit, pale malt. Taste matches. Simple, well balanced. Tasty.

A classic poorly done West Coast IPA, just like the good old days! Some harsh chemical hairspray odd tone, soapy hops lend some bitterness which almost makes it almost tolerable. The few beers I've had from this brewery are enough to keep me fully disinterested in trying more. Maybe the can was old. Drain pour.

The Aromas are mild cardboard and butterscotch from diacetyl. Flavors are like Nose, bitterness comes out enhanced by carbonation but with that annoying butter scotch. Drain pour I hate diacetyl beer.

On tap at Hop & Barrel, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out very restrained piney hops and a crisp biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is along the same lines, with bitter piney hops and a dry, crisp biscuity malt base. Quite bitter, without accompanying flavour profile depth. Okay.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grains and wet grass with some pine underlying. Flavor has sweet grains and biscuit with grass and light pine backing.
